C13 Declination

The crowd was very dense, and it was difficult to squeeze inside to see what was going on.

Looking at the excited expression of the little girl beside him, Yuwen Xianan sighed and took off the jade pendant that was tied to his waist.

Qin Xiaoxi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Yuwen Xia didn't explain and hid her behind him.

"Can I trouble you to make way for me?" Yuwen Xianan lightly said as he handed the jade to Qin Xiaoxi to play with.

A few people glanced back at him, then turned their heads disdainfully to continue watching.

While stroking the jade pendant with the words' Yu Wen 'carved on it, Qin Xiaoxi smiled and asked innocently, "Big brother, are you the young hero of the martial arts world, Yu Wen?"

She understood what he meant.

Yuwen Xianan smiled without saying a word.

Hearing the girl's soft voice, a few people turned around to look at Qin Xiaoxi. When they saw the jade pendant in Qin Xiaoxi's hand, their expressions changed as they looked at Yuwen Xianan. Yuwen Xianan let them look at him and smiled gently.

It was said that Young Master Yuwen was a handsome young man. Now that he had a jade pendant and a handsome young man. The clothes worn by that young man was the most expensive fabric in the clothing shop, so some people believed that Yuwen Xianan was Young Master Yuwen.

As the news spread, so did the crowd. Not long after, a small path was revealed.

Yuwen Xianan held the girl by the shoulders and led her into the crowd. Then, the crowd formed a circle.

The old man and the young girl looked at Yuwen Xianan and Qin Xiaoxi in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Looking at the old man with a face full of stubble, Qin Xiaoxi said uncertainly, "Grandpa?"

It seemed that the old grandpa she met at the Ten Thousand Stairs of Buddha looked like this.

The old man obviously recognized her as well. "Little girl." he cried happily.

Ye Zichen looked around at the old man, then stopped at the candied flakes in the old man's hand. Qin Xiaoxi stared at the candied flakes for a long time before she pursed her lips and smiled. Even if her face was covered, it still wouldn't be able to match her natural noble and elegant temperament. "Old grandpa, I want to eat candied fruits."

So cute! The old man walked over to her and smiled as he placed a straw stick containing several candied fruits in front of her. "You can take as much as you want to, little girl."

Qin Xiaoxi stood on her tiptoes and pulled out a candied fruit gourd, accidentally revealing the red jade tied around her wrist.

The old man's expression changed. Red jade?

"Thank you, old grandpa." Her face curved in a smile.

Yuwen Xianan also took out a candied fruit, but did not eat it. She loved to eat candied fruits. The reason he took it was also to let her eat enough.

The old man also laughed, but he was not very friendly with Yuwen Xianan.

"Young lady, please help me."

Yuwen Xianan looked at the crying girl kneeling in front of him and lightly said, "You want to make the decision? What do you want? " The young girl was dressed in shabby clothes. Her crying made her look very attractive.

"My father died suddenly, and my family property was divided up by my uncle. I didn't even have the money to buy the coffin for my father, so I was forced to sell myself to the nobles in hopes that they would gather some money for my father to buy the coffin. It was this grandpa who gave the little girl enough money to bury her father. However... But he didn't want this little girl to follow him. With her father dead, this little girl was alone. She only wanted to return the favor with her benefactor. Young Master Yuwen, please persuade this little girl to follow him. " Then, he kowtowed and looked at Yuwen Xianan with tears in his eyes.

That's true... Selling his body to bury his father … Yuwen Xianan's expression did not look good.

The old man's face didn't look too good either. A few days ago, he saw that she was lonely and pitiful, so he gave her some silver. However, he didn't expect that she would pester an old man like him to not be willing to leave. He, an old man selling candied fruits … Alright, at least he's an old man who sells candied fruits …

He had almost buried his entire family's wealth for her to bury her father, where would he have the spare money to raise an extra idle person?

"Old grandpa, do you have a son?" Qin Xiaoxi blinked her purple eyes and asked. She could feel that Xia Nan was not in a good mood.

The old man's face turned even uglier. "There's an unfilial son."

"Then did he get married?" Qin Xiaoxi asked again.

"This August, he's going to get married no matter what!" The old man gnashed his teeth. Was it that easy for him to travel thousands of miles to go to Foshan to beg for that brat's marriage fate? It was one thing for that brat to not appreciate his kindness, but he was still unwilling to go home.

"Well, let your son marry this girl. This girl is willing, right? " Qin Xiaoxi said unhurriedly after taking a bite of the candied flakes.

Yuwen Xianan was silent. Did this girl want to bring harm to others again? It was only after getting along for a while that he was able to see that a seemingly harmless little girl was truly angered when she became bad.

"My son doesn't like this kind of woman." The old man thought about it seriously, then said, "Perhaps he doesn't like women."

"..." The crowd fell eerily silent.

Yuwen Xianan pulled Qin Xiaoxi closer to him and stared at the old man warily.

Qin Xiaoxi went silent. Don't like girls?

"Big sister, why do you insist on staying by grandpa's side?" Seeing that there was nothing to discuss on the old grandpa's side, Qin Xiaoxi looked at the teary-eyed girl again.

"My parents have taught me since I was young that a drop of water will definitely be used as a spring to repay this debt." The woman replied.

After staring at the woman for three seconds, Qin Xiaoxi shifted her gaze. Tears couldn't hide her greed. She had seen this kind of greed too many times, she was too familiar with it. Even though she didn't understand what the old grandpa had that was worth being greedy for.

"Then why didn't Big Sister report to the country?" All the money we use is given by the state. " With a smirk, Qin Xiaoxi said.

What she said was right, the Xia Nan Kingdom and silver were all controlled by the country. The silver they used was all made from the hands of the country.

"This little girl doesn't know how to repay the country, I can only repay those who helped this little girl by my side." Lying on the ground, the young girl sobbed, giving off a sense of beauty.

Qin Xiaoxi swallowed the last candied fruit and placed the bamboo stick in Yuwen Xianan's hand. Smiling helplessly, he passed the candied fruits in his hand to her.

"I don't want it. Xia Nan, eat it. "It's delicious." Qin Xiaoxi shook her head and looked at him with her purple eyes, urging him to eat.

Frowning, Yuwen Xianan sighed. He really didn't like sweet things at all. However... Still couldn't bear to disappoint her.

Frowning, he took a candied fruit and put it in his mouth, then said something against his will: "It's delicious."

Qin Xiaoxi snickered, but still took the candied flakes in his hands, "When Big Bro comes back, I'll bring a osmanthus cake for Xia Nan." The osmanthus cake that Big Bro made was neither sweet nor greasy.

He didn't want anything made by Qin Shichen. Yuwen Xianan said with dissatisfaction in his heart.

"I can teach Big Sis how to serve the country. Big Sis, do you want to listen?" Qin Xiaoxi smiled innocently.

The woman looked at her suspiciously, but she still nodded in the end.

Looking at the blue sky, a fox-like smile appeared on her face, just like the face of the great Young Master of Qin Family, Qin Shichen.

"It's actually very simple. Big Sis can go and register to be a military courtesan."

Yuwen Xianan: "..."

The old man: "…"

Everyone: "..."

What was this all about?

"What do you mean?" The woman stared angrily at the girl in the beautiful white dress, looking like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.

"What, big sister thinks it's bad to be a military prostitute?" The fox-like smile gradually turned cold.

"Are you trying to humiliate me? I'm still a virgin." The woman's body trembled slightly as she glared at Qin Xiaoxi furiously.

Indeed, no virgin would be willing to serve as a military courtesan. Generally, military prostitutes were widows or the relatives of sinners, but that was voluntary.

The number of military courtesans in the Xia Nan Kingdom was not that bad, nor were there many of them. However, no matter what, it still had the word 'brothel' on it, and it was still tasted by tens of thousands of people.

Some of them had already dispersed. Some people stayed behind to watch the show.

"Big sister, do you look down on military prostitutes?" Qin Xiaoxi asked as she stood before her. Her young voice was icy cold.

The woman did not answer.

"Big sister, what qualifications do you have to look down on military prostitutes?" Putting her head up proudly, Qin Xiaoxi laughed arrogantly.

Yuwen Xianan also laughed. This Xiaoxi looked a bit like the young miss who had been acting mighty beside Uncle Qin when they first met her.

"Think of who created this peaceful and prosperous world — the National Guard, who worked so hard to keep their lives out of reach. Every time the Beibing Kingdom invades, the National Guard Army would guard the borders and help us make the Imperial City peaceful. As for the army of prostitutes, it was unknown whether they would be able to return alive after following the Imperial Protectors. They are also women. Why are you able to act like a spoiled child in the arms of your husband while they suffer at the border? They were women and it was not convenient for them to go to the battlefield, but they were using their way to repay the country. Big sister, what qualifications do you have to look down on the military courtesans?! "

Everyone fell silent. It seemed that everything this little girl said made sense. No, that's not right … All of this was all wrong!

After taking the girl back to his side, Yuwen Xianan rubbed her little head and said gently, "Good girl, don't be angry, don't be angry."

All of these were probably taught to her by Qin Shichen. Indeed... He didn't feel good either. Who would bury the children who had died on the battlefield? Perhaps, some of them ended up missing even their corpses.

Now, with great difficulty, they managed to push back the Beibing Kingdom and return to the capital with the help of the National Guard Army, yet such a farce happened in the Imperial City. Selling his body to bury his father? Furthermore, pestering others and not letting them go? Could it be that the parents of the children who died in battle also begged Prince Mu to bring those corpses back? Aren't those parents who lost their children pitiful? However, they would not ask Prince Mu to give them old age.

It was only a matter of time before people died from old age. They were looking down on him. They were also unwilling to trouble others for their own selfish desires.
